Understanding Mental Health

Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences how we think, feel, and behave in daily life. Just as physical health affects how our bodies function, mental health affects how we handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions. Good mental health does not mean feeling happy all the time; it means being able to cope with life’s challenges in healthy and productive ways. When mental health is neglected, it can impact relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.
